# RSVP from Email

> Respond to calendar invites directly from your inbox — accept, decline, maybe, or propose a new time without opening a separate calendar app.

When you receive a calendar invite, respond directly from the email thread. Accept, decline, mark as tentative, or propose a new time — all without leaving your inbox. Press `Tab` to accept and archive in one step.

## Response Options

| Response             | What Happens                                                                     |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Accept**           | Confirms attendance. Event added to your calendar. Organizer notified.           |
| **Decline**          | Declines the invite. Event removed or marked declined. Organizer notified.       |
| **Maybe**            | Marks attendance as tentative. Event stays on calendar. Organizer notified.      |
| **Propose New Time** | Suggests an alternative. Original invite stays pending until organizer responds. |

## Quick Accept with Tab

Press `Tab` while viewing an invite to accept and archive in a single action. Your calendar updates, the organizer is notified, and the email moves out of your inbox. Ideal for routine meeting invites that do not need a reply.

## Supported Invite Types

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Google Calendar">
    Slashy communicates directly with the Google Calendar API. Your response syncs immediately. Change your mind anytime — the latest RSVP takes effect.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Outlook / Teams">
    Slashy parses Outlook-style invites (ICS attachments or embedded calendar data) and shows the same RSVP controls. Your response follows standard calendar protocols, so it works regardless of the organizer's calendar provider.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Propose a New Time

If the proposed time does not work, click **Propose New Time** to suggest an alternative. The organizer can accept (rescheduling for all attendees) or keep the original time. Your status remains pending until they respond.

## How It Works

Everything happens inside the email thread. You do not need to:

* Switch to a calendar app
* Click through to a Google Calendar or Outlook event page
* Search for the invite in your calendar

The invite arrives as an email, you respond from that email, and your calendar updates in the background.

<Tip>After responding, the RSVP controls update to show your current status. Open the event in calendar view to see all attendees' RSVP statuses.</Tip>

## Calendar Label

Slashy's AI classification includes a **Calendar** label that catches meeting invites and calendar notifications. Notifications are enabled by default. Customize in **Settings > Labels**.
